Good luck on the search Bill!

Though, they give you all the information but the cost? I wonder if the ol saying applies about if you have to ask? I think I will give a call tomorrow.

I was just thinking today of getting them wheels switched out. Another Club member has already put dibs on them when I do. If he decides he still doesn't want them, I'll let ya know.

But there are a few Rebels out there. Looks like they are going for about double of what we can afford. I am suspecting the Rebel Sport will be in the same price ball park.  There is also another consideration here. It appears that insurance for a tail dragger is double to triple of what we would pay for tricycle gear.

(even if you really don't have it.  ) C'mon, what's an extra 20K into the aviation arena to ya, anyway? Remember.............It will ALL go back in the box, after the game is over. Pull the trigger, get on with life. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts! Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 | Patience, my friend. Patience. 72G presented itself just at the right time. 9ED showed up just as we needed it. The next airplane will show up when it's time also. Both of our airplanes have found us. We didn't find them. Maybe today. Maybe next week, next month, next year. It will happen.  Bill Grants Pass, Oregon

Just think Kyle, right now you sort of have the choice of 150/150 planes... just have to pick nose or tail wheel!
